Topic: Cyberfox Anyone? (Read 10140 times)

I'm just trying Cyberfox now. I don't want to speak too soon. But so far I like it. I just used FEBE to load in most of my FF AddOns. Then added Classic Theme Restore. Using SyncPlaces I got my bookmarks toolbar in the proper shape. I haven't noticed any glitches yet. 64 bits and seems to run smoothly.

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.

a Firefox extension that allows you to synchronise your bookmarks and passwords between different installations of Firefox (e.g. a browser at Home and another at Work). It only works with Firefox v3 and above (but is compatible with older bookmark extensions). The synchronize feature requires your own Web or FTP server, which is used to store the bookmarks centrally, but there are a number of free servers you can safely use (see the Support section for details of at least one of these).

Edit: Sorry, I should have listed all links in my first post. I guess I was a cup short of a coffee. Or stunned that this FF x64 ran smoothly. btw after using FEBE to get passwords saved from FF Portable I could get SyncPlaces to load passwords. Last big thing to do is find the cookie so I don't have to manually log in to my MDC gmail account. FF Portable seems to generate the cookie where the other FF flavors won't.

This might be described as having the window one has a pointing-device pointer over coming to the front / top automatically. I think it's likely to get used where the settings are such that focus-follows-mouse (so no clicking necessary for focus to change).

Ok. I remember when I first used XWindows that used to drive me nuts. Focus change on hover and single click launch. I'll be glad when I can get a workbench with a few machines on it. There seems to be a plethora of specialized Linux distros now. It's a good time to jump back in the pool.

+1! Good recommendation! It's my default choice when I need a full-featured browser running under Linux. Works like a charm for me with Debian-based distros. YMMV.

@M - I definitely want to try that portable version of Cyberfox under Windows. I keep hoping I can eventually cram and run all the Windows things I need off a USB key for those increasingly infrequent occasions when I need to be in Windows. If all goes well, my old Windows PC will eventually be relegated to serving as a gaming platform.

Just gave Cyberfox a spin - at first it looked spiffy but after syncing with Mozilla, everything just went quirky and toolbars were out of order. I have about 20 addons with Firefox that work just fine there. Don't feel like going through a tedious process of elimination with Cyberfox.

Palemoon is nice. It does have its hicks though.Haven't tried it on Linux but it is really good (fast) on Nexus 7!Can't say the same for Windows 7 64bit.

Just don't have the gutz to go all the way with Linux.So many programs in Windows... i like Cintanotes (don't work with Linux), i like Calendarscope (don't work with Linux), i like Evernote (don't work with Linux) not to mention that my CanoScan LiDE70 will never work with Linux.
